Critics Ratings

'From one of their many celebrated new acquisitions, the Dujac 2005 Vosne-Romanee Les Malconsorts offers smoky, tea-like, floral, and spicy aromas. It comes to the palate relatively firm though texturally refined and strikingly clear, full of deep, smoke-licked meaty flavors, ripe though slightly tart raspberry, flowers, tea and spices. Palpably dense, this nevertheless avoids any sense of heaviness or opacity, but instead displays lift and liveliness. The amazingly long finish really builds momentum, confirming how much is held in reserve for the long haul, and that this is about meats, stones, flowers, herbs and spices - in short very much about Pinot's mysteries, but very little about fruits or berries.' - David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate (RobertParker.com), 93/100 (2007)
